NFPA 720(05)
Recommended Practice for the Installation of Household Carbon Monoxide (CO) Warning Equipment
 Approx. 13 pp., 2003
 $39.00

Alert people to dangerous carbon monoxide levels.

Use the 2005 NFPA 720 to stay up-to-date on requirements for the selection, installation, operation, and maintenance of equipment that detects concentrations of carbon monoxide that could pose a risk to the health of most occupants in dwelling units.

This Standard covers:

  • Requirements for single- and multiple-station CO alarms and for CO detectors used as a part of a system
  • Requirements for location and placement within a dwelling
  • Requirements for performance, including audible and visible signaling to occupants
  • Requirements on the installation, use, and maintenance of CO-warning equipment
  • Information on the sources and dangers of CO

With the publication of the 2005 edition of NFPA 720, the document changes from a Recommended Practice to a Standard. This enables local authorities to reference a document written in enforceable language that addresses the installation of Carbon Monoxide Warning Equipment in dwelling units.
